Default Getting a wheel alignment, where in the NY area??

I have an appt today for a wheel alignment at RPM in Long island, is there any other place that comes with good recommendations?

Also, My R has a stock suspension with Z10 traction bars & rota SS wheels would there be any thing I need to know when I get a Wheel alignment?
and should I ask for any settings so the car handles better?

thanks for your help.

1/16" front toe out and 0" toe rear; there isn't much more to be done with the stock suspension.

rodney and dave are always pushing phil's tires. he does cornerweighting and alignments.

Well I got back a while ago from http://www.rpmracinginc.com and let me tell ya those guys are very cool and knew exactly what to do.

I give that shop and the crew that works there , I'll be sure to go back if I encounter something too big for me.

When I get a chance I'll post up the spec sheet from the wheel alignment.

And one of the guys there is an Ex R owner , was part of R-Speed a long time ago before it was mainstream

I've gone to phil's tire service in Haverstraw NY. Phil is the man and will give you personal care. All he does is race alignments, wheel mounting & balancing, as well as corner weighting. He knows his **** and he's a racer himself w/ an Acura Integra.

http://www.philstireservice.com. he's also a h-t sponsor, as well as a NASA sponsor i believe.
